You don't think they were clever by building (sh*tty) homes in caves and rocks?
well, this pile of whatever is about double tthe age of the USA.
And - if that's not enough for you, let's compare buildings.
Show me a building in your country that's only ¾ of age and I will stop laughing about you.
Here are 8 buildings that are at least 400 years old in the US. You can stop laughing now...

"Yeah! F@#k history! We want sportsball!"
True, but that was thousands of years ago when it was new and structurally sound. It's neither of those things anymore, and adding a soccer pitch is a desecration to the structure and a defilement of history.
oh no, a defiled history... well the rainbow people have got you beat setting a record for tearing down statues.
Great point! We're supposed to respect everyone's history except our own.
For centuries, the people in medieval Italy destroyed all statues of Roman origin they could find to use the material, mostly bronze, to cast guns or new statues. For the bronze decoration of St. Peter, tons of bronze from the to this time completly preserved pantheon where used.
The only statues spared are the ones from Christian emperors.
So, destroying statues and don't 'respecting' the own history is completely normal.
I guess I didn't realize the US is out of metals from which to cast statues. So we have to tear down existing statues for the sole purpose of salvaging the metal. Who knew?

American, eh? It shows.
#14 "Undisputedly?" That's a bold claim. I would wager 'arguably' as I doubt it's undisputed in the archeological field.
